Good visuals, love the glitchy transitions and the opening cinematic :D
I didn't fully understand the mechanics of the game, though, wasn't sure how I was supposed to strategize around beating Vedal.
Thank you! And... That's something I wish I had more time to consider, but the most basic thing is to move in such a way that your shot is unlikely to block you in the future, but also in a way that lets you erase a lot of remnants with one shot later on (the bullets don't disappear on hit) to keep the board playable.
Also, the Veds on the final level are bugged, so that's just my mistake, oops
ah thank you :>
ill give it a shot again
cool idea! i like the move and shoot mechanics that leave a remnant behind, blocking paths and keeping things fresh. the mix of 2d and 3d is amazing and very well-executed, love the cutscenes. good job!
Thanks! ^^ heart
Really pretty! I loved the cutscenes, especially the extra effort with things like camera panning. The gameplay was interesting and unique too. Would be cool to play an expanded version of this!
Thanks! :D I'm definitely tempted to finish this game, but I'm already working on one side-project and there is still a lot left to do here...
The best game in the jam I have played so far, especially the graphics.
Thanks! ^^ Means a lot, there are many cool submissions in this jam
The ruined world reminds me of nier:automata great game!
Thanks~! And you know, it almost ended up with action combat, though I'd say it's better that it didn't...
Interesting concept! I like how smooth the combat is, and I love the portrayal of neuro and evil!
Thank you~! Regarding combat it's almost a miracle that it works and afaik has only a single invincibility bug with how much spaghetti I put into that code...
This game has a couple of very nice things! I like this mix of 2D and 3D as well as this interesting combat. Sadly I couldn't defeat lava lamp boss, but game is still great. Good work!
Thank you! :D And being honest... I wanted to make the final boss challenging because I ran out of time to do the ending cutscene ^^' (also the two glitching Veds are bugged and cannot die, ironic)
